H-how did she...?
Noboru just blinks as his lunch is devoured before he could even get a bite in, then looks over to Rey with confusion on his face. Then her comment about nutritional needs is brought about and he almost misses the double entendre.
"Well, my nutritional needs would be met if you hadn't just..."
Lightbulb.
He blinks again, blushes, then starts to laugh a little, even if his reply is a bit awkward. "I-I think we've both grown up a bit since the last time we saw each other."

"Oh!" Rey covers her mouth with both her hands. She's clearly in a playful mood. "Excuse me for not assisting you with your needs!" She teases him and joins him in laughter.
"We have grown up. How is high school? I bet that you have made all sorts of new friends and have totally forgotten about poor Rey chan." She complains a bit, for no real reason other than the fact that it sounded sweeter in her head. "Do you remember when we used to try to catch frogs by the river that summer at Yushosha Seido Mura?" She shrugs. "I don't even know why our parents took us there for vacation. Anyway... I have my first biology class in the next period. Care to help me with something?"

At that last, still being a teenager even if he is eighteen, Noboru turns beet red! He gets his mind out of the gutter quickly, though, remembering she's still a sensei and he needs to be proper, childhood friend or not. Then the vacation gets mentioned and he facepalms.
"Oh, Kami, don't remind me. Wasn't that the vacation where I fell into that nest of stink bugs and you gave me that nickname?"
He laughed a little at remembering that, then quirked an eyebrow. "Ano... I have as study hall next period, but it's the first day so... I suppose I can help you."

"No, no, no..." She raises her index. "I won't hold you away from learning. I'm not such a cruel person." Who doesn't love learning and class and studying endlessly and exams, right? Certainly not Rey.
She raises from her seat and brings a box over. "Were they bugs? I would swear that they were frogs and I told to myself 'who would be better in this than my smelly?'." She smiles brightly to him and opens the box which contains more than 30 frogs. They have food and a roof over their head, the pro animal activists should know. "We need to find the 15 less cute ones. I cannot have the argument 'they are too cute to dissect' added to whatever I'm going to hear in the class. Help me choose!"

"Ano..." He looks over the frogs slowly, then back to Rey. "Y..you know they're supposed to already be dead before they dissect them, right?"

"Of course not, silly. Only loosers dissect dead frogs. The tissue feels very different and working with the scalpel seems far easier. I don't want to disillusion my students." The young woman offers back.
She puts a pair of gloves on and gives one to Noboru, as well. "I think that I will gift the cutest one to you and keep one for myself, too." She shrugs. "Just don't kiss it. It won't turn into a princess, trust me. The gaijin have lied to us."
The woman takes a look at his guitar while sorting the frogs out. "You are still playing, neh? We should play together some time." Noboru would know that Rey plays the piano.

Noboru just shakes his head, offering a smart-ass reply that was more like the boy she knew once he broke out of his shell a little. "Only you would take a fable and try to make it real, frog kisser!"
He grinned quickly, then followed her gaze to his instrument. A sigh comes out of him...
"... it's about all I do anymore. At least, when I'm not being challenged."

She raises an eyebrow playfully at that. "Is that a way to talk to your sensei, Mirumoto kun? I swear that if you ever take one of my classes, I'll make you kiss..." She stops. "Well, I won't give away any details. Just stay away from my classes. All that gig of yours... sad guitarist slash successful swordsman will just draw the attention of all the girls on you. How can I teach in this way?"

"To my sensei, no. To you? Well, you are a frog kisser, frog kisser!"
He then grins, noting, "Maybe I should show up to your class after all. Let your students know about that book you published and that their sensei kisses frogs, huh?" Then she makes that comment about his 'gig' and looks confused. Especially when she talks about all the attention it would get him from girls. Noboru immediately becomes flustered, shaking his head! "Baka! This has nothing to do with getting girls and you know it..."
He lowers his head a bit, starting to frown as he thought about his sister once more. "This... is about honoring her..."
And the only way I can deal with how much it hurts.

Under normal circumstances Rey would follow the protocol described in her book and in some previous posts. But! The false aneurysm alert keeps her on her seat. Instead she reaches for his hand over the desk and holds it tightly. "I know. Only two things are certain in your life. You will never forget her, but it will become easier to remember her over time."
